Pickles by Brian Crane for March 16, 2013

It wouldn’t be the first time Earl was wrong.

Armed or unarmed he will still be Earl.

Yep, you are wrong.

So how many of you were gullible enough to try it…?

I know that I’m not gullible enough to eat green beans. BLECH!

I only tried it silently….

Cute. This is more than what’s been said. It’s the bonding of grandpa/grandson.

Earl, you’re terrible. If you say that real slow, it sounds like “you big meanie.” LOL :~)

First guffaw of the day. Can’t wait to try it on my friends!

Bad grampa! Bad!

Sorry didn’t mean to flag. Just wnated to see what it did and couldn’t turn it off.

Good con Grandpa.

Someone did that to me. I fell for it. haha

I love crazy Grampa tricks.

ROFL!!

Next thing you know Earl will have Nelson looking upand staring at the ceiling…….made you look…gotcha !

Oh, come on! He’ll be pulling this same trick on his grandkids someday, fondly remembering his grampa.

Similar joke I played on my (now 21-year-old) son when he was about Nelson’s age and regarded himself as smart and cynical: only it was “Gullible is not in the dictionary? Don’t believe me? Look it up yourself.” He was so angry about being duped; but he wanted SO MUCH to try it out on all his friends and not one fell for it—too lazy to use a dictionary at ANY time…. Anyways, no one in the family has never let my son forget it and we often bring it up when he is being pretentious…. Someday maybe he can try it on his own kids or grandkids.

Very good, Nelson. Now sing the Siamese National Anthem:

“Oh wha ta na Siam…”

That’s like the one about smart pills. A guy offers another guy one for $100. He pays for it, takes it, and tells the guy, ‘I don’t feel any different’. The other guy says, ‘See, you’re smarter already’.

I got my nephew with this a few weeks ago, but with ‘oranges’ instead of ‘green beans’. Then my sister-in-law played along when he tried it on her. She just said ‘oranges’ really slowly…the look on his face was priceless when he tried it again.
